yes - on trusty there is no qemu-kvm package by default
and virsh capabilities show the domain type for arch ppc64 as qemu only
- on utopic it shows kvm and qemu.
The issue is the same for x86_64 arch.
The question would be - should we use what'is in the release and adapt
kimchi for it or should be build what's needed for the product to work ?
Thanks
